I think they are pausing to catch up on second jabs tbf, many people who got them in January are due in early April, so that would tie in

45% of first jabs given but only 3% of second they need to start closing the gap

The Health Secretary is Live

Talking about supply.

BOTH news channels

He said it won't affect the lockdown easing timetable, as they are still ahead of schedule anyway. I feel like this is just a big panic by the media as always when it comes to bad COVID news.

Interesting article

I can't tell if I have side effects or not. I have a bit of a sore arm today and had a weird night's sleep (I kept waking up and I was sweaty - but no temp) and I'm tired today BUT ... I stupidly only got about 4 hours sleep the night before last, and about 6 last night, so there's every chance I'm just legitimately tired :joker:.

You should get some rest.

You have been a brave little soldier :laugh:

India has Suspended Exports of the Vaccine to the UK
They need it for their own nation.

Can't blame them really, we would do the same in the same situation..

I do think now, the focus needs to shift from 'get everyone done!!' to...get high risk people sorted with their second dose. Other are much lower priority, or should be.

A review by the European Union's medicines regulator has concluded the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine is "safe and effective".

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said it would continue to study possible links between rare blood clots and the vaccine.

Its findings came after 13 EU states paused rollouts of the jab.

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday called on countries to continue using the vaccine.

Much of Europe is struggling to contain a surge in coronavirus cases.

Decisions to suspend use of the vaccine sparked concerns over the pace of the region's vaccination drive, which had already been affected by supply shortages.

This blood clot thing seems dodgy. Because, if there was actually a link, given how many UK people have had the vaccine now, it would be very apparent surely..

Vicky
blood clots happen all the time.


There is no link.

My Mum’s just been for her first jab. In and out in minutes, didn’t even have time to park properly she was so quick. :joker:

Vick my mate got a blood clot from plaster of paris being put on too tight on her leg! These things happen and if the people its happened to had never had the vaccine they would have had the bood clot anyway, but lets all blame the vaccine .

That happened to a girl I work with. She went in with a broken ankle and came out with a DVT.

...your mum, LaLa...:lovedup:...

Yes exactly.

A correlation would have been noticed by now.

I guess its more common than we think Annie.
